Acting station commander Col Martin van Nieuwenhuizen said the man had not been charged with murder, but several suspects were yet to be eliminated through investigations.

The resident, a 48-year old woman, was found in her home by her domestic worker on Tuesday, January 12.

“The police suspect that the deceased might have been strangled and, from the smell of the body, the incident may have occurred a few days earlier,” said Benoni SAPS spokesperson Const Zunickha Essakjee.

The investigation was ongoing at the time of publishing.
